Module aims

To provide students with the opportunity to

  • Demonstrate the ability to study abroad for a year at a host University approved by the department.
  • Experience and gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural environment of the host city and country.
  • Improve foreign language skills [in exchanges where the language is not English].
  • Broaden understanding and knowledge of their subject specialism(s).
  • Travel abroad and achieve personal development in preparation for employment and global citizenship.

Outline syllabus

This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ.

The syllabus will be arranged on an individual basis in consultation with the department and the host institution. It will normally comprise a combination of taught courses and any language training required. It is subject to the approval of the year abroad tutor. Modules selected must not duplicate those taken by students when they are at Warwick but must be chosen to provide adequate preparation for modules students will take when they return to Warwick. Any amendments to the approved study plan must be approved by the study abroad tutor. Students are expected to take the same total workload as that of a typical full time student at the host institution and be equivalent to 120 credits at Warwick.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the module, students should be able to:

  • Demonstrate an enhanced knowledge and understanding of their subject specialism(s).
  • Demonstrate that they have developed the qualities and transferable skills necessary for working or studying in another country and in a different academic system.
  • Successfully engage with the demands of study in a different country, with enhanced oral and written language skills (in some cases in a language other than English).
  • Have developed transferable skills in sensitivity to diversity in terms of culture and people.
